I believe she will be in this generation of female artists who talk about political issues, feminism, sexism—all themes that are important to me.

Except often these hyper-feminine characters then devolve into the grotesque. I like to create these beautiful, monolithic characters and then tear them down, but a lot of times they get back up. I like watching the rise and fall and then the rise again.” To read the full interview, click here.
